All this talk about your sweet girlfriend
Is starting to pay off
And the charms that you got from travel
Are starting to wear off
And I hope that you smile tonight
Watching the last of your friends arrive
You'll smile and shake their hands
And the hero that you'd hoped you'd be
Never seemed to show up
And if I can keep from talking
There won't be time to give up
And I hope that I drive tonight
Into the last of the great sunrises
I'll smile and wave my hand
Goodbye
If things don't work out
Quite the way you planned
It's almost half past two and
I've begun to hate the way you smile
So smile
And I hope that you close your eyes
Block out the pain of a thousand lives
I hope that you die tonight
Just close your eyes, there goes the light
Smile, I'll brave it
While you wave your hand goodbye
Is starting to pay off
And the charms that you got from travel
Are starting to wear off
And I hope that you smile tonight
Watching the last of your friends arrive
You'll smile and shake their hands
And the hero that you'd hoped you'd be
Never seemed to show up
And if I can keep from talking
There won't be time to give up
And I hope that I drive tonight
Into the last of the great sunrises
I'll smile and wave my hand
Goodbye
If things don't work out
Quite the way you planned
It's almost half past two and
I've begun to hate the way you smile
So smile
And I hope that you close your eyes
Block out the pain of a thousand lives
I hope that you die tonight
Just close your eyes, there goes the light
Smile, I'll brave it
While you wave your hand goodbye

but as for meaning, i love it because it expresses (SO well) the feeling of just wanting to get someone out of your life. whether a friend or a love interest, sometimes you get to that point where you just need to drive away for good.
